Mubei was silent: "Stop fooling around, we are siblings. Situ Reading 520 Official Website

"Fear what, we're not blood-related!"

Muyi huffed.

"I am already engaged, you know that."

"Add one more, I don't mind!"

Mubei: "……"

Muyi laughed and then said, "By the way, Brother, Li Ziyi and her father have arrived. The clan leader and others are entertaining them in the clan hall. A maid reported seeing you return to Puyun City, everyone is waiting for you."

"Ziyi is back?"

Mubei's eyes brightened.

Li Ziyi, his fiancée, had been betrothed to him since they were young.

The Li family, where Li Ziyi comes from, is one of the four major families in Puyun City, along with the Mu, Liu, and Wang families. Her father is the current clan leader of the Li family.

"Once you mention your fiancée, you forget your sister!"

Muyi huffed, unhappy.

Mubei laughed wryly, pinched her nose, and walked towards the clan hall.

The clan hall was resplendent with gold and jade. Clan Leader Muyuanshan and several elders of the Mu family were already there, chatting with a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was dressed in a brocade robe, none other than Li Pei, the clan leader of the Li family.

Beside Li Pei stood a young girl in a light green dress, as beautiful as a lotus flower, with a hint of coldness and pride in her expression.

When Mubei entered the hall, everyone stopped talking, their gazes falling on him.

The originally lively and relaxed atmosphere dissipated.

"You're here."

Muyuanshan glanced at Mubei, looking down on everyone else.

Mubei was completely unfazed. After the passing of his adoptive parents, most people in the Mu family had this attitude, and he was long used to it.

Walking up to Li Pei, he bowed respectfully: "Uncle Li." Then he walked towards Li Ziyi and said softly, "Ziyi, this period of time..."

Before he could finish, Li Ziyi took a step back.

Her expression was cold, with a distant and proud demeanor.

Mubei was taken aback. Li Ziyi had never acted this way before. What was going on today?

Muyuanshan, with a mocking look, said to Li Pei, "Brother Li, you tell him."

Li Pei nodded and looked at Mubei, "Not long ago, Ziyi heard from some geniuses at Cangyu Academy that your meridians were completely shattered, and you lost all your cultivation, and were expelled from Qingyun Sword Sect. Is this true?"

Mubei's gaze paused, finally understanding why Muzhen knew about his expulsion from Qingyun Sword Sect. It was the news Li Ziyi brought back.

Looking at Li Ziyi's expressionless face, he vaguely guessed something: "Uncle Li, just say what you have to say."

"Alright." Judging from Mubei's reaction, Li Pei knew the rumors were true: "Ziyi is a prodigy, soon to reach the Bone Tempering stage, and has already qualified to take the entrance exam for Cangyu Academy. It's only a matter of time before she enters Cangyu Academy!"

"Cangyu Academy, I'm sure you're familiar with it. It's the top academy in the Northern Prefecture. Those who can enter are all top geniuses of the Northern Prefecture. But you, you are now a cripple. If Ziyi marries you, it will ruin her future."

"As a father, I don't want to see my daughter jump into a fire. The entire Li family will not agree to Ziyi marrying a cripple. Therefore, your engagement will be annulled today."

"Though the words are harsh, they are the truth. I believe you can understand and will retrieve the marriage contract from years ago."

Li Pei said coldly.

Mubei smiled, the meaning was clear. They were indeed here to break the engagement.

This smile surprised Muyuanshan and the others.

A young man, publicly called a cripple and having his engagement broken, would normally be filled with shame and anger.

But Mubei smiled, showing no signs of anger.

"You want to break the engagement?!" Mubei wasn't angry, but Muyi was: "Li Ziyi, what do you mean?!"

"We are now people from different worlds."

Li Ziyi said.

Muyi gritted her teeth: "Different worlds?!"

"Have you forgotten how my brother treated you all these years? Five years ago, when you fell off a cliff, my brother risked his life to save you!"

"Three years ago, my brother fought five assassins in the underground black market just to win a Hundred Flowers Snow Lotus as your birthday gift!"

"Two years ago, when you were bitten by a black-striped marten, my brother sucked out the poison, almost losing his own life!"

"Now, you say you are from different worlds?!"

She glared at Li Ziyi.

Li Ziyi's expression remained cold: "All of that was his choice, I never forced him."

"You have no shame!"

Muyi wanted to slap her.

"Yiyi! Enough!"

Muyuanshan scolded.

"Yunfeng, control your daughter. Brother Li and Ziyi are guests. How can she treat guests like this?"

Elder Muyuan said.

Elder Muzhiqi also spoke: "Indeed, it's unacceptable!"

Elder Muyunfeng looked at Mubei with regret and said to Muyi, "Yiyi, step down."

"Father, they are too much! Too unfair..."

"Enough!"

Muyunfeng said sternly.

Du Qingyue quickly pulled Muyi aside: "What's it got to do with you? Shut up!"

Li Pei didn't mind Muyi, he just looked at Mubei.

Mubei smiled faintly and said after three breaths: "Yiyi, go to my room and fetch the marriage contract."

"Brother, you really..."

"Enough, go."

Mubei cut her off.

Muyi, though angry, still went to fetch the contract.

"You're quite reasonable." Li Pei held out his hand to Mubei: "Give it to me."

"Not in a hurry." Mubei said calmly, "Yiyi, fetch a pen."

The clan hall had ink and a pen, and Muyi quickly fetched them.

Mubei unfolded the marriage contract and wrote a word with force, the ink penetrating the paper.

Divorce!

"Take it."

He casually tossed the contract to Li Pei.

Seeing the large "Divorce" word, Li Pei was first stunned, then furious.

"How dare you insult the Li family! Insult my daughter!"

A "Divorce" word on the marriage contract was different from breaking the engagement. It meant that Li Ziyi was divorced by Mubei!

Li Ziyi's face darkened, staring at Mubei.

Muyuanshan and the others were taken aback, never expecting Mubei to act this way.

Mubei looked at the furious Li Pei: "He who insults others will be insulted. Haven't you heard this before?"

Then he looked at Li Ziyi: "What you said earlier is right, we are indeed from different worlds now."

With that, he turned and left.
